Since marrying Yuan Qing Zhou was already a fact that could not be changed, then at least they must allow Su Qian Yue to have the first wife’s position and the child in her belly right would be her best bet at that.
If she were to give birth to a son, perhaps Wu Qin Qin would need to give in and allow both of them to be the primary wives at the same time, that was not an impossibility.
“My lady, be careful with your feet. This is a filthy prison cell, humble servant had already advised a few times, yet My lady still refused to listen. If by any chance you would inhale the filthy air bringing discomfort to your body, the old master might tear humble servant’s skin off!” An old Mama with adept movement was standing beside and carefully reminding Su Qian Yue, presumably she was particularly hired by Su Yuan to serve Su Qian Yue. Apparently, this pregnancy could be used to bring about a change for the Su family.
“Yun Qian Meng, didn’t expect you would have such day like today!” After the servant girls and old women spread out the soft cushion on the round stool inside the prison cell, Su Qian Yue slowly sat down, and sneered at Yun Qian Meng. There were no lack of joy in her tone of voice while looking at other people’s misfortune.
But, after stating that , Su Qian Yue was unable to endure the heavy stench from the prison cell, as she could not help but take out the silk handkerchief from her sleeve which was infused with aromatic scents. After that she covered her mouth and nose, as those delicate brows wrinkled.
Seeing her situation, the Mama beside her immediately casted a meaningful glance at a servant girl, the servant girl immediately took out the red sandalwood incense burner from the brocade small box she carried with her all the way. Then she opened the lid of the incense burner and put a few leaves of scented perfume, then ignited the flame. Before she could place it before Su Qian Yue, she was immediately reproached by that Mama “Stupid thing, how could you put that thing too close to the lady master? I’ve already told you few days ago, did you already forget about it?”
After scolding that servant girl, that Mama glanced around and discovered that the only place where she could put down the incense burner, was the desk located in front of Yun Qian Meng. She then pointing at the desk and instructed “Just put it there!”
That servant girl followed the instructions and approached the desk, seeing the books, jewelry box and fresh flowers being arranged neatly on the desk, she puts the red sandalwood censer in front of Yun Qian Meng, then retreated back beside Su Qian Yue.
Yun Qian Meng was sitting upright behind the desk, her hand was holding a book the entire time, and ever since Su Qian Yue’s arrival, she didn’t make any reactions.
These people, were merely some clowns playing their simple tricks, as compared to wasting her time on them, it would be better for her to think about how to save herself.
But when Yun Qian Meng saw Su Qian Yue unconsciously caressing her own abdomen, as well as the light smoke inside the red sandalwood incenser that risen up in spirals, a plan gradually emerged in her mind.
Particularly after smelling the strong fragrance emitted by the light smoke, it had made Yun Qian Meng feel even more determined. Since Su Qian Yue had no plans of just letting her go, then she would not need to be too kind.
Yun Qian Meng slowly laid the book in her hand down and with a simple smile she spoke “Having Su xiaojie to keep me company, even if I’m inside this huge prison, then it wouldn’t be too bad.”
With one statement, it caused Su Qian Yue’s indolent sitting position to suddenly straighten up, putting up the appearance as if she was about to fight at close quarters with other people.
“Yun Qian Meng, do you really think that I’ve come especially to see you? Why don’t you know about the relationship between our two families. Daddy has preserved your cheap life up until today, your ancestral tomb is already emitting green smoke. But to my surprise you still dared to retort back against my words! Somebody, slap her mouth!” While speaking, Su Qian Yue’s eyes landed on the female jailer beside her.
That female jailer evidently realized that Su Qian Yue wanted her to do it. But previously another female jailer had been killed by Chen Wang even before her whip could touch Yun Qian Meng’s clothes. If she were to take action and beat up Yun Qian Meng, perhaps Chen Wang would exterminate her entire family. Thinking about that, the female jailer had actually lowered down her head, acting as if she had not seen Su Qian Yue’s hint, which irritated Su Qian Yue making her feel annoyed inwardly.
Of course Su Qian Yue heard about all the things that Chen Wang had done for Yun Qian Meng, and at this time Ning Feng was still guarding outside the door of the prison. She had tried her best to persuade him before he would let her in, if she dared to hit Yun Qian Meng, perhaps her father would get involved in Chen Wang’s anger. With this in mind she had prompted the female jailer to undertake the task, yet unexpectedly this female jailer was quite cunning, going so far as to pretend not to see her meaningful glance, and that angered Su Qian Yue making her wish to personally teach this disobedient female jailer a lesson!
And that Mama, upon seeing Su Qian Yue exposed her angry eyes, immediately uttered to remind her “My lady, please pay attention to your health! Your body is not well, please do not get angry. If you have anything to take care of, you may just inform the old master, why should you risk making your own hands dirty?”
Being reminded by that Mama, Su Qian Yue was reminded of the condition of her own health which was unlike before. She then immediately arranged herself, she took in a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Then she turned her attention towards Yun Qian Meng, sneering as she said “Yun Qian Meng, you are now a prisoner, yet you still don’t know that immensity of heaven and earth Don’t you know that, if I wanted you to die in this prison of the Ministry of Justice, you would certainly not be able to reach tomorrow!”
Threatening Yun Qian Meng like this, Su Qian Yue merely wanted to regain her reputation which was negatively affected earlier.
But to perseptive Yun Qian Meng, it appeared childishish and funny. The smile on the corner of Yun Qian Meng’s mouth was brighter, in she continued “If Su xiaojie had such courage, you must would already done it earlier, why would you need to make use of other people’s hands?”
With one uncomplicated statement, Su Qian Yue was left speechless, yet she also didn’t know where to begin and could only stare firmly at Yun Qian Meng. After a long while her facial expression transformed and with a gentle and weak smile she spoke “Yun xiaojie, you have said it right! I had came here this time, to specially thank Yun xiaojie for giving me quite a huge gift last time at Han Guo Gong Fu, I could truly make use of it for my entire life!”
Although she was smiling while speaking, but her words were said while gnashing her teeth.
Having heard what was said, Yun Qian Meng just exposed a smile. That gorgeous smile could make a person feel as if he was born in a fairyland, remaining utterly oblivious towards the fact that she was currently staying inside the stinky prison cell of the Ministry of Justice.
“Don’t be too polite Su xiaojie, that was something I ought to do! Su xiaojie had given me a big gift, I naturally would send a gift in return, furthermore, the gift was bigger, in order to show my sincerity. But now judging by your rosy complexion, I presume you must have really enjoyed that big gift! In this case, Qian Meng will now be able to relax my worried heart, day and night Qian Meng wasn’t able to rest or eat in peace, I was deeply worried that Su xiaojie might not like that big gift, but judging by the current situation, Su xiaojie was really quite fond of it!” Ignoring the rage in Su Qian Yue’s eyes, Yun Qian Meng blurted out a string of words with twists and turns, even Yun Yi Yi who was staying in a corner was not able to fully comprehend it and was completely unable to understand what the big gift Yun Qian Meng was talking about.
And as for the incident last time, Su Qian Yue could only grind her teeth and swallow her blood. How could she allow Yun Qian Meng to discuss with her the matter regar
ding how she was being taken advantage of by Yuan Qing Zhou last time? Was she not just digging up her own grave?
Not only would it destroy her reputation throughout her life, Han Guo Gong Fu would also think that she was such kind of careless woman, who would publicly discuss such shameless thing. It would also make Han Guo Gong Fu think that she was being resentful towards Yuan Qing Zhou and Han Guo Gong Fu, that was why she had mentioned such scandal publicly.
Su Qian Yue was not stupid, she surely knew about the tremendous effect of this matter!
Besides, sooner or later she will be married into Han Guo Gong Fu, in the future she will be part of Han Guo Gong Fu. Now if she unimpededly offended the Han Guo Gong Fu, in the future she might not be able to live well. Moreover, if she brought shame upon Han Guo Gong Fu, it will be quite disadvantageous for Su Qian Yue while Yun Qian Meng will just laugh at her.
“Bring the thing inside!” Quickly diverting the subject of the conversation, Su Qian Yue looked at Yun Qian Meng, then faced the servant girls beside her she instructed indifferently.
The servant girls who were initially standing outside the prison came in carrying meal boxes in their hands, then following Su Qian Yue’s gesture they opened the boxes and laid them down in front of Yun Qian Meng then laughed and said “In any case, we are still related to each other, seeing Yun xiaojie’s good-looking face is now fading away, my heart feels sad. As a matter of fact, I had instructed the servants to prepare some fine food, just consider them as my warm regards.”
Looking at those delicious dishesbeing arranged in front of them, in a corner Yun Yi Yi was already feeling envious, but being confronted with Su Qian Yue, her heart was still somewhat wary.
After all, the hatred between the elderly lady and Su Qing was already present for a very long time, Yun Yi Yi naturally had an intense psychological conflict facing Su Qian Yue.
Yun Qian Meng took the silver hairpin in her hair, using the tail of the hairpin she inspected the dishes one by one.
Seeing her good intention being trampled on by Yun Qian Meng and also seeing Yun Qian Meng having the inclination of a person of low status, who had actually calmly inspected through every piece of pastries, Su Qian Yue was suddenly enraged with fury. Regardless of Mama’s advice she suddenly stood up and dashed towards Yun Qian Meng, pointing at Yun Qian Meng’s nose she cursed “What’s the meaning of this? Are you trying to humiliate me!”
“If Su xiaojie didn’t mess around with the food, why would you be afraid of my inspection?” She did not stop her actions and while using one hand to brush away Su Qian Yue’s finger pointing at her own nose tip, Yun Qian Meng replied indifferently.
Watching her own enemy putting on the act like that, even Yun Yi Yi felt it was quite funny. She instantly jumped down from the bed and using the fastest speed she ran towards Su Qian Yue using her full strength to knock against Su Qian Yue on the other side…...
Su Qian Yue didn’t realize that she was able to get by before only because she was being supported, when she was standing on her own feet she had very little strength to support herself, not to mention standing up firmly. But this time Yun Yi Yi suddenly ran and bumped her, causing herself not to be fully aware of it, in an instant she hardly tumbled down on the ground, the position of her lower abdomen exactly knocked on the edge of the desk.
“You… Ouch.... my stomach hurts… it really hurts……” Suddenly, Su Qian Yue held her belly and cried out due to the pain, in the corner the servant and old women’ face immediately transformed, one by one they rushed forth nervously, wishing they could hold Su Qian Yue in their arms.
“Blood… blood… it’s not right, xiaojie is bleeding…..” The servant girl who was supporting Su Qian Yue up saw stains of blood in the skirt, she immediately shouted out loud.
“What?” That Mama who was taking care of Su Qian Yue immediately rushed over and pushed away the servant girl who was assisting Su Qian Yue, yet she discovered the bloodstains that increased significantly in between her legs. Mama’s face suddenly turned deathly pale, she stopped caring about the practices of the aristocratic families at this time and while facing the doorway she yelled “Quickly request for a physician, hurry up, the xiaojie doesn’t look good……”
The old women and servant girls waiting by the doorway were all scared to death, all of them struggled to run outside, and during this time Su Qian Yue had already fainted because of the intense pain. Mama was already perspiring freely due to fear, yet she could only summon up her courage to instruct the servant girls and old women on the side to quickly bring Su Qian Yue out of the prison cell.
“Tut! Bad luck, such kind of accident happened in spite of everything, serves her right!” Watching Su Qian Yue’s appearance being unable to endure the fright, Yun Yi Yi snorted disdainfully, as if the little life being knocked off by her was not in any way related to her.
Her attention was still focused on those dishes of food in front of her, licking her lips, she immediately lifted up her head then carefully asked Yun Qian Meng “Big sister, these pastries weren’t poisoned, right?”
Earlier when Yun Qian Meng was inspecting them, she was observing them with her eyes wide open, seeing that the silver hairpin had no reaction, for safety purpose Yun Yi Yi still asked.
Yun Qian Meng’s eyes were already focused on the scroll of book in front of her, this time hearing Yun Yi Yi’s interrogation, she simply responded with “Yes”.
Having heard what was said, Yun Yi Yi’s face suddenly exposed a happy expression on her face, picking up a piece of osmanthus cake, she puts it inside her mouth.
“Yun Yi Yi, you bitch, you had harmed my cousin, and still have the appetite to eat!” During this time, Yun Ruo Xue who was inside the prison cell opposite side of Yun Qian Meng’s prison cell glared at Yun Yi Yi and bellowed angrily.
Yun Yi Yi swallowed the pastries in her mouth, her eyes flickering brilliant rays of delightment, after which she sneered and said “Second sister, your cousin was already pregnant with child before she got married, such lascivious kind of woman should be drowned in a pigsty, surprisingly she was being assisted by so many servants, she was seriously shameless! But, speaking of being shameless, you are also just like that, second sister, your Yi Niang mother was quite terrible, as it turns out such kind of behavior can be handed down. Your body indeed contained similar kind of blood, being utterly filthy like that, that istruly disgusting!”
Yun Yi Yi’s words angered Yun Ruo Xue andshe suddenly lifted up a vase fromher own prison cell.She then threw that vase towards Yun Yi Yi, but that flower vase contained both flower and water, its weight was too heavy. Therefore Yun Ruo Xue instead of throw it out it accidentally smashed on her own foot It was so painful that she immediately held her own foot and jumped around on the spot.
“Hahaha, that’s what you deserved!” When Yun Yi Yi saw it all she became a laughing stock.
But before she could finish laughing, two female jailer walked inside, after which they opened the door of her prison cell. Suddenly as if lifting up a chick they hauled Yun Yi Yi up, pulling her as they walked outside…...
“What are you doing? What do you want to do? It’s not my fault, don’t touch me!” Yun Yi Yi’s voice became further and further away. Lin and the old madam who had just woken up leaned against the wooden railing continuously called out for Yun Yi Yi, unable to understand why they have to take her out alone.
Watching Yun Yi Yi as she disappeared from the prison cell, the two of them immediately shot a glance towards Yun Qian Meng, but before they could attempt to speak, they discovered that Yuan Dong was grimly staring back at them which caused their hearts to tremble. Knowing that if they insulted Yun Qian Meng perhaps Yuan Dong wouldimmediately hit them.
But, fortunately Yun Yi Yi was brought back after a while, and judging by her deathly small pale face, it was probably Su Yuan who took her after he learned about the accident that had happened earlier to his own daughter.
“Yun xiaojie, the Superior reques
ted to see you!” But this time it was Yun Qian Meng’s turn.
Looking at Yun Yi Yi’s eyes filled with evil smile, Yun Qian Meng knew that she must have pushed all the responsibilities onto her. She then responded her with a deep smile, then she strided over the doorstep, as compared to the rude treatment they had on Yun Yi Yi, the two female jailers respectfully followed behind Yun Qian Meng. they did notmake things difficult for her, making Yun Yi Yi’s heart feel quite uncomfortable Afterwards she started to eat the food in front of her.
Seeing Yun Qian Meng came out, Ning Feng, who was guarding outside the doorway immediately held up the sword blocking the female jailers’ path, then he coldly said “Who had permitted you two to bring Yun xiaojie out?”
“This……” Watching the cold air emitted out from Ning Feng’s body, the two female jailers’ hearts were instantly filled with fear, but with regards to Su Yuan’s command, they had no choice but to obey.
“It was me!” And during this time, Su Yuan echoed from a distant place.
All of them turned around and looked. Seeing Su Yuan, with an angry face, walking in large strides over there. hose treacherous eyes that wished to just kill Yun Qian Meng right there, truly made people feel intimidated and only Yun Qian Meng was calmly looking back at him, not in least bit to concerned.
“Superior Su, don’t tell me that you have forgotten Wang Ye’s command?” Ning Feng was observing the murderous spirit on Su Yuan’s body, as he spoke immediately.
“I didn’t forget! But, this Yun Qian Meng bullied someone intolerably! Imperial Guard Ning, please don’t worry, I have promised Wang Ye, it will be unlikely for me to break that promise. But, my daughter had sustained injury inside the prison cell earlier, as her father I need to find justice for my own daughter! I just wanted to ask about the whole story, I hope Guard Ning will not interrupt me!” Su Yuan glared at Yun Qian Meng, bearing an enormous bitterness while he spoke these words.
